what a great point! that's been true for me, too, and actually, i think that's a big aid in keeping group roleplays alive in general. when members don't find their current interactions interesting, i think having a friendly dynamic out of character really helps people persevere. it's much harder...

i think the important thing to remember about roleplaying is that it is both a social activity and a hobby. it's important to remember that this is a hobby because, by the nature of hobbies, it's something short-lived for most people. most of the hobbies people currently have, they will neglect...

you are not alone! a lot of roleplayers struggle with this sort anxiety, and it's natural! your writing is art, and it's a reflection of yourself, and you're leaving it out in the open for anyone to see. i used to be one of those 'elitists', but i ended up getting to the point where the pressure...

and i've seen settings where the fun is breaking the setting, so even that isn't a limit for some people. i think @_Line 213 got it in one, though; there really is no 'one size fits all' for this question. invariably, any answer you give isn't going to cut it for some people. personally, i...

man, i wish someone would take that and tape it onto the faces on every vaguely hostile gm in the interest checks who demands that you join if you dare express an interest in their idea. i mean, i get the reason they have with it - it is bound to be frustrating when a bunch of people rsvp and...

i use energy as a limiter, actually - it's not ideal for everyone, though, because it forces the player to actually impose this fake 'limit' themselves, which is the last thing you want if the player actually wants their character to win. it's like you see in shounen animes - the main character...

ideas are generally pretty quick to come to me if i have a jumping off point. sometimes the setting is specific enough that one immediately comes to mind, and i flesh it out from there. sometimes, i look through the characters sheets for any qualities in noticeable deficit. like, if all of the...

do you only play your own gender? i heavily skew towards people of female/nonbinary genders, which is reflective of my own gender experience, yeah. i don't really have a problem playing a male character at all, but if you give me the option, i probably would go for a character of a different...
